Nightwalks are presented once a week between Memorial Day and Labor Day, full-moon or not.
Nightwalks are special evening interpretive programs offered once weekly during the summer, between Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day weekend, and twice in the week between Christmas and New Year's. For summer 2008, Nightwalks will be given on Wednesday nights. Programs in May, June, and July begin at 9:00 PM. In August they begin at 8:45 PM. Participants are required to be silent during the one hour walk that allows visitors to step back in time. This walk is not recommended for children or others who can not participate without talking or whispering.  There is a charge for this program ($6/adult and $3/child or senior with pass) and reservations are required (call 505-672-3861 x 517 during business hours).

The Ancestral Pueblo people carved petroglyphs into the soft tuff rock above many of the dwellings built along the cliffs.
